Small world, I live in Yakima. Now, I know that Phillips operates stuff here, but was never sure what. I dated a girl for a short time in high school and the only reason they moved here was because her father got transferred in. He worked for Phillips (now ConocoPhillips). Anyway, I can't vouch for their program, but I can say they do have offices here and I know of people that work for them; I can also vouch for the weather. But it is winter here, right now, and you know it every day.
The following is my favorite web site for getting weather. Click and it will take you to Yakima.

I suppose what I'm most curious about is why they don't offer some form of cash compensation to volunteers in addition to the rental car?
